The world-dominating couple have been together since 2008, and have withstood not just the scrutiny of the public eye, but the arrival of their kids and Jay Z’s infidelity – which was strongly alluded to in Bey’s 2016 album Lemonade, and which Jay Z openly admitted to in his album 4:44 the following year.

In a documentary back in 2013, Life is But a Dream, Beyonce spoke out about the miscarriage that she endured months before she became pregnant with Blue Ivy, saying it was: ‘the saddest thing I’ve ever been through’.

On the topic of her pregnancy and delivery, she said: ‘I was supposed to do Coachella the year prior but, I got pregnant unexpectedly. And it ended up being twins which was even more of a surprise to me.

‘My body went through more than I knew it could. I was 218 pounds the day I gave birth. I had an extremely difficult pregnancy, high blood pressure.

‘I developed toxemia, preeclampsia, and in the room, one of my baby’s heartbeats paused a few times so I had to get an emergency c-section,’ Bey continued.

Thankfully though, everyone got through it safe and sound in the end, and the Carters welcomed two new members of their family into the world.
